Summary It was another very volatile week for stocks. • We see multiple sources of trouble on the horizon for the economy, including a pending catalyst that could shock consumer budgets. • For now, cash flow is strong and the dividend is secure, but if things get worse later this year, the narrative could quickly change. • We are selling pops and waiting for substantial drops to redeploy capital. • This idea was discussed in more depth with members of my private investing community, BAD BEAT Inves ting. https://seekingalpha.com/article/4590265-att-anyone-talking-about-this -- (Please remove QRM for direct replies)

By Jon Brodkin The Federal Communications Commission should be investigated for letting employees own stock in Comcast, Charter, AT&T, and Verizon, nonprofit watchdog group Campaign Legal Center told government officials. "Federal law specifically bans FCC employees from owning 'any stocks, bonds, or other securities of [any company] significantly regulated by the Commission,'" the nonprofit group said last week in a letter and detailed report sent to FCC Acting Inspector General Sharon Diskin. "Despite this ban, the most recent financial disclosures publicly available show that ethics officials allowed multiple FCC employees to own stock in telecommunications and other companies that appear to fall under the prohibition." https://arstechnica.com/?p=1924296
